Samhain Kits

 


So I am doing things a little differently for Samhain.
Instead of making up a bunch of kits to put in the shop… I decided that I am only going to do pre-orders for kits this year.

There are two kits to choose from. A smaller and a larger one.  Each kit comes with a special surprise bonus gift valued at $10.00

Small Samhain kit
Includes:
3 Spell dusts
A bag of Graveyard dirt
Mojo Bag
2oz All Hallows Eve Oil
2 herb bags filled with herbs associated with Samhain 
A wooden pendulum
Sea salt
Small lavender smudge
A blank decorative spell scroll for writing your own spell upon
And 1 votive candle

The price for this kit is $32.98 +10.95 for medium flat rate shipping
Normally all of these items would cost you more than $45 for everything so you would be saving more than $13.00 on this kit (not counting the value of the bonus gift)
Please order 5 days to one week ahead of whenever you need this kit, this does not include shipping time so you would need to add shipping time to that. This allows me enough time to put the kit together and get it to the post office.

Large Samhain kit
Includes:
3 spell dusts
Sigil powder 1oz
Bag of Graveyard dirt
Bag of orange/Red dessert sand
Mojo bag
2 oz of All Hallows Eve oil
4 herb bags filled with herbs associated with Samhain
An ouija board
Wooden pendulum
Pentacle necklace
Sea salt
1 votive candle
Large Lavender smudge stick
A blank decorative spell scroll for writing your own spell upon

The price for this kit is $64.98 +10.95 for medium flat rate shipping
Normally  all these items would cost you more than $85 for everything so you would be saving more than $20.00 on this kit (not counting the value of the bonus gift)

A 6x5 blank book can be added to either kit for an additional $15.98 or purchased on its own for the same price. You would pick a color scheme and theme for the cover of the book. For shipping the book alone without any other items it will be shipped in a small flat rate box for $5.95

Medium flat rate boxes arrive in 2-3 days from shipping date according to the usps website, but I would allow 3-5 days just to be on the safe side.


The veil between worlds start to thin around the early middle of Oct and are thinnest on Samhain eve (Oct 31st) which is the best time to commune with spirits and perform any kind of divination. It ends being as thin around the early middle of November.
This is also a great time for showing respect for the dead. I may write a longer blog on this subject at some point.


Any of my other divination, protection, cleansing, and banishing items are also useful during this time of year. Keep an eye out for sales on these things during the next few weeks.

Any of the items above can be purchased individually at the regular retail price unless otherwise stated.

To order, please email me at Lotus_Moon@hotmail.com
Tell me which kit you would like to purchase.
Inform me of any other items you are purchasing if you are purchasing more than just a kit or a book. This helps keep your shipping costs low since if I can fit it in the medium flat rate box there will be no additional shipping costs. For the book it will be shipped in a small flat rate box unless added to one of the two kits for combined shipping.

If you are purchasing a book, please include an idea of what you would like the cover to look like, whether you want it to have a theme or not (i.e you may want it to have a Halloween/Samhain theme, a tree of life with real leaves on it, an element theme, etc) If you are having problems coming up with a theme let me know and I can try my best to help.

I will then E-mail you back an invoice for where to go to pay for the items if you are paying via PayPal.
I do accept most major credit cards with a 5% fee added to the total price for those of you who do not have PayPal. If you are wanting to just pay with a credit card I would need the type of credit card you are paying with and your credit card information to input for the payment transaction.
Those are the only two payment methods I currently accept.


Please let me know if you have any questions on any of my items.

Lots of new products

Recently Lotus Moon Apothecary was asked to be apart of the Mardi Gras Voodoo Ball that was being held in Boise, Idaho. In preparation for the event lots of new products were made.  The event was very successful and quite a fun experience. Thanks again to everyone who came out!

I have posted most (but not all) of the new products I have for sale in the Lotus Moon Apothecary's Facebook Shop Page Check out the facebook page and click “like” to get the latest updates on new products.
I wanted to post up the new products I have for sale on here as well. I will most likely be making another post to cover the rest of the items.
I made more than one of each item. Many sold and I had enough left over to post up in the shop. I can make more of most of the items if someone needs more than the amount I have on stock. Just let me know how many you would need and we can see what we can’t do about making them for you.

~ Mojo Bags ~
The word mojo is related to the West African word "mojuba" which means prayer of praise and homage. So a mojo bag is a "prayer in a bag" basically a "spell you carry."
Mojo bags are also commonly referred to as "gris-gris" bags which is a French spelling of the African word "gree-gree" or "gri-gri" which means "charm." Thus a "gris-gris" bag is a "charm bag."
Mojo bags are little pouches, or tied off bits of cloth to form a pouch, with a magical purpose. They can contain any number of items such as; herbs, roots, seeds, stones, resins, and other natural elements. Each bag is made for a specific purpose.
Traditionally people would keep their mojo bags out of sight from others. The reason that  people would the reason people would do this is because if another person touches it, the luck may be lost. (though I personally have never had that problem) Still, some prefer to keep to the traditions.
Each cloth bag is tied with a ribbon or cord and then sealed with wax to hold the magic in place. Do not open the bag no matter how tempted you may be, for it will undo the magic sealed inside.  You can however smell the herbs contained within the bag without having to open it.
~Where and how to use your mojo bag~
They can be hung or placed anywhere inside your home, wherever you feel they would benefit you the most for their purpose. They can also be worn on your wrist, belt, in your purse, wherever is most comfortable to you. Used during ritual, or in a time when you feel you need their specific energies/influence. They can also be placed/hung outdoors.  Some place them in the garden, or hung from trees.
Charms are used for many purposes, and can be powerful talismans.
You can charge your mojo bag whenever you feel it needs a bit of a boost by putting the proper oils on it (sparingly) or by letting the smoke from a smudge stick or smoke from the proper incense around the bag. How often you do this depends on how often you use the bag and to what extent. It is not necessary to do this though if you don’t feel the bag needs it.
Each bag is $5.00 + shipping
I currently have 6 Luck/Money bags (green clover bags)
3 Love bags  (red bags)
2 Protection bags (black bags)
2 Protection from Nightmares bags (purple blue bags) 
**I can make custom mojo bags for a specific intent/purpose. Send me a message telling me what it is you need it for if you are interested in getting a custom mojo bag made.


Let me know if you have questions on any of the products or would like to request a custom order. I would be more than happy to help.
